Monday Mustang Message

February 26 – March 1, 2024

• Family Teacher Conferences are this week! If you haven’t made your appointment, please do. If you need assistance, the office can help. This is a great opportunity for families to talk with teachers about your student’s progress, questions and concerns, and how to support your student moving forward. Families who attend will also receive a $3 coupon for the Scholastic Book Fair from the PTA.

• During Family Teacher Conference times on Wednesday and Thursday, we will have a Resource Fair with a number of community agencies and programs available for you to check out, and the PTA is hosting their Scholastic Book Fair up in the school library which is always an exciting opportunity!

• Due to conferences, school will release early at 1:25pm on THURSDAY this week, and there is no school on Friday. 

• Our school nurse has a limited supply of COVID-19 Antigen Home Tests available for free here at the school. The tests expire on 3/18/24. If you are in need of some tests, please inquire at the office. 

Looking Ahead:

• Wednesday, March 6: Mobile Vision Clinic – please contact Heidi Sanger via ParentSquare or in the office if your student is in need of glasses.
• Maturation Program for Fifth Graders: “Your children are growing up.”  While growing up can be hard, talking about it needn’t be. To help start conversations about health and the maturation process, Canyons District sponsors an informational program for fifth grade students and their parents. Families may attend the presentation that best fits their schedule. Parents are advised to leave younger siblings at home.
